Koch group ad to ask voters if they’re ‘better off’ under Biden during GOP debate

EXCLUSIVE — Inflation and the economy are 2024 Republican primary voters’ top two concerns, according to new Americans for Prosperity data.

The data, gathered by i360 through AFP’s outreach to more than 4.3 million potential Republican primary voters before next year’s general election, is the foundation for the Koch Industries-funded group’s new TV advertisement that will debut during the second debate Wednesday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley, California. The spot asks voters if they are better off now than they were at the start of President Joe Biden’s administration.

“Ronald Reagan used to ask: Are you better off today than you were before?” AFP’s CEO Emily Seidel says in the 30-second ad. “Sadly, for most Americans, the answer is no.”

“We know that because at Americans for Prosperity, we talk with them every day,” she adds.

“Bidenomics is crushing us,” one interviewee says in the ad. “I can’t keep up with the rising costs of everything,” another says, followed by another adding, “This country is simply on the wrong track.”

Seidel then reminds viewers, “We can do better, but we must focus on the issues that matter most. With new leadership and fresh ideas, we can reignite the American dream.”

The ad is the latest installment of AFP’s six-figure “Bidenomics is Broken” campaign.

The National Issue ID Survey data found that 55% of voters AFP spoke to in person and on the phone described inflation, the economy, and government spending as their most important issues when considering how the government affects their lives. No other matter exceeded 10%.

In a separate statement, Seidel said AFP found voters are “looking for a candidate who can tackle these serious economic challenges our country is facing.”

“That’s why we’re calling on leaders at this week’s debate to focus on the issues that matter most and present their vision for advancing better policies that move our country forward,” she continued.
